Sections 2723 and 2761 of the Public
Health Service Act (PHS Act) direct the Centers for Medicare and
Medicaid Services (CMS) to enforce a provision (or provisions) of
title XXVII of the PHS Act (including the implementing regulations
in parts 144, 146, 147, and 148 of title 45 of the Code of Federal
Regulations) with respect to health insurance issuers when a state
has notified CMS that it has not enacted legislation to enforce or
that it is not otherwise enforcing a provision (or provisions) of
the group and individual market reforms with respect to health
insurance issuers, or when CMS has determined that a state is not
substantially enforcing one or more of those provisions. This
collection of information includes requirements that are necessary
for CMS to conduct compliance review activities.

There are program burden
changes in this collection. As indicated in the Background section,
this revised burden is a result of new statutory requirements under
title XXVII of the PHS Act. With respect to health insurance issuer
burden in a state in which CMS is enforcing any of the requirements
under title XXVII of the PHS Act, we revised the burden estimate to
reflect that CMS is currently enforcing these requirements in 5
states. We also revised the burden estimates for other requirements
since they are now applicable to issuers in the U.S. territories or
expatriate plans only. One requirement is being discontinued.
Therefore, the total burden is now revised from 3,760,421 hours to
2,555 hours, a total reduction of 3,757,866 hours.
